One of Manchester’s favourite sushi restaurants has revealed it will be opening a new site on Bridge Street in Manchester city centre.

Sushi Marvel, widely considered to be one of the ‘best sushi joints in Manchester’, will move into the former Exclsve Bar & Eatery this summer.

Leaving its Oldham Road branch behind on 2 July, the team will venture into pastures new as they join the likes of Crazy Pedro’s, Dishoom, MUSU, and the soon-to-open Juice Box store at their new city centre location.

Described as casual Japanese sushi for ‘serious sushi lovers’, since opening their first Chorlton deli in 2017 owner Katie Lau and business partner Kevin Chiu have only seen the business grow.

Expanding to a tiny spot in Ancoats not long after, the kitchen’s marvellous sushi dishes definitely lived up to their name – earning the eatery reams of fans.

At the Ancoats eatery, desserts were on offer too with mochi ice cream a favourite amongst Sushi Marvel’s fans.
